Throughout the twentieth century, the United States trained and financed
military regimes to crush reformist and revolutionary movements. This
keynote will explore the devastating consequences of U.S.-backed state
terror in Central America and Southeast Asia. In Central America alone,
U.S. intervention from 1960-1996 led to the deaths of over 300,000 people.
U.S.-backed dictatorships in Guatemala and Indonesia killed more than a
million people accused of revolutionary activism. At the same time,
throughout the Global South, rural workers led powerful movements against
U.S.-backed regimes to win basic rights.

The keynote presenter, *Dr.* *Rigoberta Menchú Tum*, participated in the
farmworker movement as a young woman. Her seminal testimonial, *I,
Rigoberta Menchú, An Indian Woman in Guatemala,* denounced Reagan’s support
for government attacks on Mayan communities. She won the Nobel Peace Prize
in 1992 for her social justice work, and she was part of a decades-long
effort to convict the former Guatemalan dictator José Efrain Ríos Montt of
genocide and crimes against humanity.

Journalists *Vincent Bevins* and *Amy Goodman* will join the keynote
presenter. Bevins will outline a global history of U.S. terror against
civilians during the Cold War, based on this book *The Jakarta Method:
Washington’s Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program That Shaped
Our World*. Renowned journalist Amy Goodman will moderate the event.
Goodman is the host and executive producer of *Democracy Now!*, recipient
of the Right Livelihood Award, and co-author of six *New York Times*
bestsellers. Read more....
